To all whom may concern:

Be it known that I, ELEANOR Manna Nnwnmns, a lritish subject. and resident of Freshwater Bay, in the Isle of Wight, Englanrh have invented certain new and useful finiprorements in Devices for Securing Hats to the Head of which the following is a spec fication. 7

This invention relates to devices for securing hats to the head. it consists of a length o'l elastic encased in tubular silk which is secured. to the inside of the hat so to form three sides of a square, the open side being at the front.

This encased elastic band runs freely through two loops of silk or the like which are attached at the back of the hat by suit able pins, and come the required distance apart tor instance four or five inches. The two ends of the hand are also provided with pins for attai'zhment to the hat; these pins allow the band to he adjusted to the head.

And in order that the invention may he better understood it will now he described with reference to the acconnianying drawings in which Figure 1 shows a side elevation oi one end pin attached to the end of the elastic band.

Figure 2 shows front elevation of same.

Figure 8 shows end pin with its carrying clip ready for attachment to the end of the elastic band.

l ipgiin'e il shows a side elevation oi a. douhle pin or Fastener for attacl'iing a loop. to the hat.

In the drawings a. are end pins, carried. hy clips 7 which. are adapted to be secured. to the ends oi the elastic c, which is encased in the tube of silk 7. (Z are loops of tubular 1922. Serial No. 550,780.

silk and c are double pins or fasteners for securing the loops in any desired positions as shown in Figure '7, where h shmrs a portion of the hat in section to which the double pin a is attached by passing the points through the material and turning them down as indicated on the drawing.

In securing the device to the hat, the two loops (Z are attached towards the hack of the hat on the interior. at a suitable distance apart and toe hand made from the parts 0 and with the end pins 0: is passed through the loops. '7

The end pins are adjustahly fastened to the hat at the sides, according to the size of the wearers head, leaving the front free as shown.

The pins may either he hent hack to Form hooks or the end pins turned hack on the hand to giro a hook etlecl'.

It will thus he seen that the device is in dependent of any elastic or time across the forehead, or of any auxiliary elastic for pa ing beneath the hair. or ot the use of Hill or buckles or of any wire frame, or of pins worn in the hair, as in other known contriw ances of the sort.
